What is the difference between mainframe Operating system and PC Operating system?

The basic difference is that @ mainframe platform u can run more than one OS at a time on same machine but this feature not available at PC OS. Mainframe OS are targeted to handle hundreds of users at a time whereas PC OS is targeted for a single user. The only major difference is that a mainframe operating system will probably need to service many users at the same time, whereas a PC operating system normally only has to worry about one user at a time. There are some differences between personal computer OS and mainframe OS, one of them a mainframe OS can be used by many users at the same time so it must need to service for many users. However a personal computer operating system designed for one user normally.second of them a mainframe OS is more powerful and expensive than PC OS. Mainframe OS designed to huge process from many users and it means, it manages lots of I/O for many users, but in PC OS there is just one user to log in it means, it does not manages lots of I/O for one user. Mainframe OS offers three kinds of service batch, transaction processing and timesharing. Personal computer OS used for some basic processing like word processing, spreadsheets and Internet access that PC OS is supports multiprogramming.
